What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee uses fixed wireless services through Windstream (WIN), the Windstream equipment must be located no further than 300 feet from the franchisee's router or switch interface, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Windstream.
This requirement means that a prospective Bonchon franchisee needs to ensure that their restaurant location can accommodate this proximity. If the router or switch interface is more than 300 feet away from where Windstream intends to install their equipment, the franchisee will need to obtain written permission from Windstream for an exception. This could involve additional costs or logistical challenges.
Furthermore, the franchisee is responsible for obtaining "roof rights" and providing evidence of these rights to Windstream, as well as providing internal building conduit to allow Windstream to rod/rope to the point of demarcation. These obligations highlight the franchisee's responsibility in preparing the site for Windstream's equipment installation, adding to the initial setup considerations and potential expenses.
